FUCKING HELL this show is god fucking awesome. Just Jesus Christ, they get every fucking little tiny detail absolutely right. Timing, blocking, cuts, and FFS the performances are all fucking spot right the fuck on.
Shit is a master class. Absolutely brilliant filmmaking. If you would have told me they'd make a show about fucking billionaires, make them literally the worst people ever, put them in a super complex situation that I couldn't possibly relate to, and make them perfectly relatable and perfectly articulate where their heads are at through some glances, stuttering, and nuance, I'd have laughed you out of the room. But that's what happened.
And yeah, that is a fucking haymaker. And seemingly out of nowhere.
Spoiler!
But in reality it makes sense. If this is the last season, it can't all just come together in the last 20 minutes. And Logan dying is the best possible way to force a change within the constraints of the story as established.
Let the games begin.
But FFS I'm going to miss Cox. He was absolutely throwing haymakers.
Highly recommend watching the discussion post-episode about how they chained together the filming of this episode. Speaks to the brilliance of the entire process. [Reply]

I paused the show 30 minutes into this episode, turned to my wife and said almost this exact same thing. This show is a work of art.

I had to talk myself out of it repeatedly. [Reply]

It's a direct quote from the post-episode interview with Jeremy Strong.
I thought he was BSing, and apparently so did a bunch of others, until I looked it up myself. The whole post-episode discussion is definitely worth watching.
It says more about the common schlepp watching the show to think a) you'd fake a medical emergency of someone with prior serious health issues and b) talk shit about someone using a multisyllabic word [Reply]

Excuse me, but those commoners in the pit are suddenly having an opinion about MY show. How can they appreciate Shakespeare when they cannot appreciate a bath!? [Reply]
